An award has been made to the San Diego Society of Natural History under the direction of Dr. Bradford Hollingsworth to replace tags in the herpetology collection at the San Diego Natural History Museum. This collection is one of the largest of its kind with specimens of lizards, snakes, and amphibians from the western United States and border regions. The current tags with data on collection dates, locations, and other information are in danger of degradation and can cause damage to the specimens stored in alcohol. The new tags of archival, nondamaging materials will standardize the formatting for data and safeguard the information on the tags as well as the specimens themselves. The museum will continue to recruit students, including those from groups underrepresented in science, to help curate and upgrade the tags in the herpetology collection.

在布拉德福德·霍林斯沃思博士的指导下，圣地亚哥自然历史学会获得了一项奖励，用于替换圣地亚哥自然历史博物馆爬行动物收藏中的标签。这个收藏是美国西部和边境地区最大的蜥蜴、蛇和两栖动物标本之一。目前带有收集日期、地点和其他信息数据的标签有退化的危险，并可能对存放在酒精中的标本造成损害。新的档案非破坏性材料标签将规范数据格式，保护标签上的信息和标本本身。博物馆将继续招收学生，包括那些来自科学界代表性不足的群体的学生，以帮助管理和升级爬虫学收藏中的标签。
